Product details
Overview
LM2592HVSX-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC designed for high-voltage input applications, delivering up to 2-A load current with ±4% output voltage accuracy, 150-kHz fixed switching frequency, and input voltage support up to 60 V. It operates as the core regulator in industrial power supplies requiring wide-input, adjustable-output buck conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2592HVSX-ADJ datasheet, LM2592HVSX-ADJ pinout, LM2592HVSX-ADJ application, or LM2592HVSX-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output range (1.2 V to 57 V), ON/OFF control interface, thermal shutdown protection, 90-μA standby quiescent current, and compatibility with standard 5-pin TO-220 and DDPAK packages.
Technical Context
The LM2592HVSX-ADJ implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode controlled buck topology with internal compensation and a single N-channel DMOS power switch. Its feedback loop senses output voltage via an external resistor divider referenced to the 1.23-V internal reference at the Feedback pin, enabling precise regulation across line and load variations.
It features dual-stage overcurrent protection (peak current limit of 2.4–3.7 A and thermal shutdown at 150°C), undervoltage lockout behavior via the ON/OFF pin, and a dedicated shutdown mode with 90-μA typical quiescent current. The device does not integrate a synchronous rectifier or enable soft-start circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 57 V (adjustable) - set by external resistor divider; ±4% tolerance ensures stable regulation under full temperature and load conditions. |
| Max Output Current | 2 A DC - delivers sufficient power for mid-power embedded subsystems, sensors, and analog front-ends. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of compact, low-cost inductors and capacitors while balancing EMI and efficiency. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V (±3%) - defines precision voltage setting point; bias current ≤50 nA minimizes divider error. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 μA in shutdown - reduces system standby power; 5–10 mA in active operation supports efficient light-load performance. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction shutdown at 150°C - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
LM2592HVSX-ADJ is available in 5-pin TO-220 (NDH) and 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) packages. Both feature identical pin functions and layout-compatible footprints for thermal and mechanical design flexibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VIN | Power Input | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor to supply high di/dt switching currents and suppress transients. |
| Output | Switch Node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~(+VIN − 1.3 V) and ~−0.5 V; must be routed with minimal loop area. |
| Ground | Power & Signal Reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and ON/OFF pull-down; critical for noise immunity and thermal path. |
| Feedback | Regulation Sense | Compares divided output voltage to 1.23-V internal reference; sensitive to noise-requires short trace and optional Schottky clamp if VIN > 40 V. |
| ON/OFF | Digital Control Input | Logic-level shutdown: ≥2 V disables regulator (90 μA IQ); ≤0.6 V or floating enables operation; max 25 V absolute rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range Support | Operates from 4.5 V to 60 V - eliminates need for upstream pre-regulators in 24 V/48 V industrial or 12 V–48 V telecom systems. |
| Adjustable Output Precision | 1.23-V ±3% internal reference with ≤50 nA bias current - enables accurate, stable output setting across temperature and load without trimming. |
| Integrated Protection | Two-stage current limiting (2.4–3.7 A peak) plus thermal shutdown - provides robust fault handling without external sensing circuitry. |
| Low Standby Power | 90-μA typical shutdown current - meets stringent energy-saving requirements in always-on or battery-backed applications. |
| Fixed-Frequency Operation | 150-kHz oscillator - simplifies EMI filtering design and allows predictable inductor sizing using standard off-the-shelf magnetics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596HV-ADJ | Higher 3-A output current, same 60 V input, but 150-kHz frequency and TO-220/DDPAK packaging; slightly higher quiescent current (10 mA active). | Better suited for higher-current loads; less optimal for space-constrained layouts due to larger thermal footprint at 3 A. | Select when >2 A output is required and board area allows larger heatsinking. |
| TPS54202DRT | Synchronous 2-A buck with 4.5–28 V input, 500 kHz switching, integrated MOSFETs, and enable/PG pins; no external diode needed. | Superior efficiency at light loads and smaller solution size, but limited to ≤28 V input-unsuitable for 48 V+ systems. | Select for lower-voltage, high-density designs where synchronous efficiency and footprint matter more than input voltage range. |
Compared with LM2592HVSX-ADJ, LM2596HV-ADJ offers higher current capacity at the cost of increased thermal demand, while TPS54202DRT trades input voltage range for integration and efficiency-making LM2592HVSX-ADJ the optimal choice for ruggedized 48–60 V industrial buck conversion where simplicity and proven reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2592HVSX-ADJ?
The LM2592HVSX-ADJ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. Exceeding 60 V in continuous operation risks violating thermal and electrical limits; transient spikes above 63 V may cause permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the TI datasheet SNVS075E.
How do I set the output voltage for LM2592HVSX-ADJ?
The output voltage of LM2592HVSX-ADJ is set using a two-resistor feedback divider connected between VOUT, FB, and GND. With a 1.23-V internal reference, VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2). TI recommends R1 ≈ 1 kΩ and 1% tolerance resistors for stability; values must be selected to ensure FB pin bias current (<50 nA) introduces negligible error.
Does LM2592HVSX-ADJ require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2592HVSX-ADJ requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 3.3-A, 60-V rated) connected from the Output pin to GND. This diode provides the inductor's freewheeling path during switch-off. TI specifies fast recovery or Schottky types to minimize conduction loss and prevent instability-no internal synchronous rectifier is present in the LM2592HVSX-ADJ.
What thermal considerations apply to LM2592HVSX-ADJ in TO-220 package?
In the NDH (TO-220) package, LM2592HVSX-ADJ has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50°C/W on a standard JEDEC 4-layer board. To maintain TJ ≤125°C at 2 A load, ambient temperature must stay below ~75°C with adequate copper pour and optional heatsink; derating is required above 85°C ambient per TI's thermal curves in SNVS075E.
Can LM2592HVSX-ADJ be used in a negative-output (inverting) configuration?
Yes, LM2592HVSX-ADJ can be configured as a positive-to-negative inverter by bootstrapping the GND pin to the negative output rail and referencing the FB pin to that rail. TI provides Figure 24 in SNVS075E showing this topology; maximum |VIN| + |VOUT| must remain ≤60 V, and additional isolation diodes (e.g., Schottky) are required to maintain stability and prevent input ripple coupling.
